Why do you need two modems? And why do they need heatsinks?

dual modems is for higher bandwidth surfing thats an old old trick for 56kers the heatsinks however i'm confused on

If you have a mobo with A gigabyte port and a gigabyte port with a PCI slot, then you can re route your Router and have a faster connection that way. But it's around 100 dollars to even start thinking about that Router... Darn it!

Th3-R3as0n · Apr 4, 2008, 11:49 PM

This is my part of the ghetto mods.. Pretty dam ghetto i must say

Notice the black cable tie holding the waterblock down and the 4oMM fan cooling the Memory..

I love the twisty ties! Gives it the look that you just thought about it after the lunch you just had!

Th3-R3as0n · Apr 5, 2008, 12:01 AM

Well i bascially did actually.. i thought about it at school during a very boring Maths lesson.. I was like*cha ching*.. Then i didnt have any other way to put it..

Cold Storm · Apr 5, 2008, 12:03 AM

Hey, the best thoughts come when your trying to think else where! Whatever works.... WORKS!

Th3-R3as0n · Apr 5, 2008, 12:05 AM

yeah but the waterblock cable tie was one of those "sit down and think very intensely about it" moments and it was the best i could come up with..

Cold Storm · Apr 5, 2008, 12:07 AM

hey, you never know, someone here might find a way to help you with that!?

Th3-R3as0n · Apr 5, 2008, 12:10 AM

Well the only solution viable to me is to get a new CPu waterblock unfortunately.. Mayb MkMods can come and mod my waterblock

Cold Storm · Apr 5, 2008, 12:11 AM

MK can do anything! I know that for a fact! PM him and see.. Might take a while, but it might work!?

cdawall · Apr 5, 2008, 12:13 AM

cant you just put anothre plate over and under to sandwich the side and tap holes for the mobo?

Th3-R3as0n · Apr 5, 2008, 12:24 AM

I dont fully understand what u mean cdawall?? Cant visualize it..

Cold Storm · Apr 5, 2008, 12:27 AM

You know how a bolt has a washer at the bottom, then its the object, and then the nut on top? I believe thats what he's thinking about.

Saakki · Apr 5, 2008, 12:18 PM

somehow related to computer..i put Logitech x-230 2.1 set amplifier in enlight PSUs card box and made a separate box for woofer..

they were separate as i bought em and no cases included ..cost me 5 e ..

tkpenalty · Apr 6, 2008, 12:07 AM

Who remembers this? 2x80mm fan bolted onto either side of the 9550

In addition Copper RAMsinks, and core clocked at 500 Memory at a pitiful 280...

On a tragic note the 9550 is dead. Why? Because someone sat on the box when i was taking it to my apartment.

pentastar111 · Apr 6, 2008, 09:07 PM

Here are a few of mine from the little 939 socket Gateway...the cooling in this thiing was atrocious! HDD was very hot and all of the heat from the vid card stayed in the case. Case is way too narrow the put fans inside so i went down and bought the appropriate holesaws and went to work. One 80mm TT fan and a Sliverstone 120mm on the side...Fan controller on back sports an automotive switch holder that I moddified to house some fan controller that newegg used to sell but is unavailable now, can't rmember the name, anyway it's velcro'd to the back of the case...That controls the 80mm Vantec Tornado exhaust fan. This ugly configuration has been running effectively now for 2 years... :-)

numloxx · Apr 12, 2008, 03:28 AM

Here's something kinda ghetto but not too crazy. 8800gt was overheating at around 80+C and would crash so I tied a fan to it.

Works pretty well. Getting around 65C under load. This is temporary until my 8800GT Akimbo cooler gets here. Can't wait.

sneekypeet · Apr 13, 2008, 09:21 PM

As per request from ColdStorm, I figured Id show off the fan mod for my gils Nb cooler.

Many thanks go to Tatty_One for the idea!
